Vol. 1 - The Story of the Coast Guard

Volume 1
The Story of the Coast Guard is one of proud service in peace and at war. Featured on this DVD are six rare films dating as far back as 1935 showing great moments in the history of the 'First Fleet'.

See the men of the Coast Guard as they keep the sea lanes safe, alerting merchant vessels to icebergs. Go with a cutter crew on the Alaska Patrol. Feel your pulse rise as a USCG cutter races to rescue the passengers and crew of a Pan Am Clipper forced to ditch in the Pacific.

See cadets train for sea duty, and go with them aboard the training vessel Eagle. Finally, in Coast Guard on Foreign Shores, see how the USCG helped change the course of WWII, fighting U-boats, laying mines, and delivering men and equipment to battlefields from North Africa to Normandy to Iwo Jima.

This is the ultimate gift for anyone who ever served in the Coast Guard!

Color and B&W films. Run time: 120 minutes.
